Look, of the people collecting my blood are turning around and selling it for a lot of moeny, shouldn’t I get some of the money? That’s all folks are saying. I agree people should want to do it to be a good citizen to their fellow humans, but the people getting the blood should also not be making money off of it in that case.

So if the answer to “How much is blood worth?” is “Nothing!” Then awesome! If the answer is “A lot, actually…” Then something is wrong.

Regardless, times I’ve tried to get access to work stuff on my phone I stopped because I had to agree to let my entire device be remotely wiped if they chose to. I had absolutely zero faith that they wouldn’t accidentally do it as a matter of procedure if/when I left the company so I didn’t do it.

I see ads pretty much everyday in Windows. They’re not as attention grabbing as traditional ads and I think this is part of why some people don’t see them.

🙄

Just because it might be legal to violate copyrights in other countries doesn’t make the code considered open source though lol.

No, because lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women. Alone. Wife is just a gendered term for spouse.

Yesssss, so true. Anytime people say they want history to be “clean” I insist they explain what they mean because more often than not they’re going to suggest something that makes the history way less useful.

Any standard that wastes valuable space in the first line of the commit is a hard sell. I don’t see the point in including fix/feat/feat! just for the sake of “easy” semantic versioning because generally you know if the next release is going to be major or minor and patches are generally only only after specific bugs. Scanning the commits like this also puts way too much trust in people writing good commit messages which nobody ever seems to do.

Also, I fucking hate standards that use generic names like this. It’s like they’re declaring themselves the correct choice. Like “git flow”.

And then my team squashes those commits 😩

Generally I’d consider calling someone who identifies as bisexual a lesbian to be bi erasure since lesbian is generally understood to mean a woman attracted to women so it would be erasing the fact that they’re attracted to other genders.

You’re being obtuse. I get the point you’re trying to make – you’ve been heard. I’m just saying those aren’t the terms you should be using to make it. Open source has a very distinct definition and it has to do with the licenses covering the code. It has nothing to do with whether different countries have differing laws. Code cannot be open source in one country and not open source in another because the definition has nothing to do with countries. In fact, that would specifically not be open source because it gives rights to some and not others.

If someone infringes on a copyright that doesn’t mean the work isn’t copyrighted. You can’t just say things that are source available are open source. Even if someone is infringing on the rights holders they’re still only source available.

Open source doesn’t mean source available. You simply aren’t using the term correctly.

Please don’t muddy the water with terms like this. Something is open source if and only if it has an open source license.

Don’t forget that “open source” has a different definition than “source available”.

while nearly no one is complaining about MS using github to train their copilot LLM,

Lots of people complained about that. I’ve only seen this single thread complaining about this.

I know. Just the “full-stack meta frameworks” part alone makes any ADHD person feel nausea.

??? Please don’t make weird blanket statements like this.

1 hundred times!

Oh, does it still skip ads and stuff?

I believe it was my 2021 taxes (meaning I filed in 2022). Think I still have a shot? I don’t remember how much it was but it was definitely more than zero.
